Michelle Obama revealed her dazzling interior design skills when she transformed the White House's stale Family Dining Room from outdated traditional to cool contemporary. And now we know the former first lady led a similar overhaul of the White House residence. The Obamas recently opened up exclusively to Architectural Digest,revealing their rarely seen private living quarters.
White House interior designer, Michael S. Smith - whether that name sounds familiar, and it's because the Obamas vacationed at his Palm Springs domestic immediately after leaving office - told Architectural Digest,"Mrs. Obama often talks about bringing new voices into the national conversation, and that plan informed many of the decisions we made. . . . We selected artists and designers who would never have appeared in the White House before." Mrs. Obama sang Michael's compliment to the magazine, and saying that his designs not only respected the history of the White House,but they also turned it into a warm family domestic for her husband and two young daughters.
